It sounds lame he's getting into wings specifically, all aero is specific in it's own way, but none has as much of a drastic effect as it seems to be having here.Juuust a little more than usual. I think I'll have to see how it turns out, I may be blowing it out of proportion.

Where did you get that from?

Anyways from the Google translation, which is pretty awful, it seems that Takumi and Mika (and perhaps Iketani and co.) went to the sea. Also there is a bit about an FC and some character name Hojo?

Ibaraki :S2000 has a GT carbon rear wing, but shuichi shigeno don't work in this way.

Kanagawa:round 1Evo 7 and MX5 have GT carbon rear wing>>>wing has been an important factor.round 2Mr-S has GT carbon rear wingSupra (model ???) i don't see yet the car but i think it has (GT ?? carbon??) rear wing.

I wonder if it really makes a difference, I hope we don't see the 86 get some super huge wing or something silly like that.

It's not silly at all and it makes the difference. With GT wing (carbon : light and resisting) the car could have more grip unless the rear tires are died. In theory Takumi couldn't match against Toshiya S2000 : Toshiya driving don't use the grip and its GT rear give to car more and more grip.

Takumi win against S2000 because the old man stomach was down.Takumi win against Omiya because the MX5 rear broke.

Well, he has beaten racers before without a wing, I just think it'd look silly to have something like that on his 86.

The more Shuichi Shigeno make his story the more project D and oponents are harder to beat and set their cars like pro. Since Ibaraki all cars had rear : S2000, FD RX7, GTR 34, evo 7, MX5, MRS, supra and NSX (only 86 dont' have).

Takumi is an unorthodox driver. Wing rear come from circuit. But Takumi drive Bunta impreza so he has been affected by this point. To push the 86 limit i think a rear wing on the 86 it's possible.

It's seems that on these chapters espicially vol.490 project D work on the 86's balance. We could see in this scan that they put some bars to maintain the frame of the 86. With that Takumi could cornering harder and faster. Very very interesting. It seems that the key point about 86 vs MRS battles will be the balance and corners.

Oooh, a roll cage! but, there actually is another option for 86 than some icky carbon fiber wing ala fnf.. it's called TRD widebodykit, with that whaletail. I wouldn't mind seeing that.

I think is totally logical. Takumi driving is improved so he drives more and more fast. The 86's frame need to be more tought. With that the potential of the 86 will be bigger.

For a few weeks, each chapter of initial D has brought its batch of surprises. After the return of Ka├» Kogashiwa, the NSX of the chief of Sidewinders: Hojo. In chapters 489-490, Hojo speaks to a person (who seems to be a woman) called "00". Thus the second pilot of Sidewinders could be a woman surely kawa├»! Remain more to know what car she drives ?
